Britvic has announced that it is investing £26.9m in its factory in Rugby, the soft drink firm’s largest production site.
The investment will see the installation of a fourth canning line, growing the site’s total capacity by a further 18%.
The new set-up will produce recyclable 330ml cans for Britvic’s portfolio of brands including Tango, Pepsi and 7UP. The first cans are expected to be produced this November, with the new line fully up and running in 2022.
Paul Graham, Britvic GB managing director, commented: “This is yet another milestone on our growth journey, investing in both our supply chain and our people. This new, state of the art canning line will be a fantastic boost for Britvic’s Rugby facility which continues to produce recyclable cans for some of our most popular brands. We look forward to using this additional capacity as a platform to drive further innovation.”
